1.) that PREFIX?=${X11BASE} was unnecessary, I have removed it in my
very next commit
2.) USE_X_PREFIX implies USE_XLIB and this port is a clear script-only
ports (interpreted by a old variant of Tk called Tkstep), so removing
reduces dependencies and speeds up package builds (pointyhat,
tinderboxes, ...). This port depends directly on tkstep80 and
libimg-tkstep80.

I have scheduled these very old ports that depend on lang/tkstep80 for
expiration (total: 7 unmaintained ports including lang/tkstep80). This
is software from 1999 that wasn't developed anymore. tkstep80 was
outdated by tk82, that was replaced by tk83 and now we have tk84.

The old Tcl/Tk stuff should be continuously removed from our ports tree,
but of course with caution and respect to maintainers and users (if any).

Thanks,
Martin
